Review:

Most of the southern half of Arizona is part of a larger tract of land known as the Sonoran Desert. This 100,000-square-mile region also covers parts of California, Baja, and northern Mexico. The Sonora Desert boasts an astonishing variety of landscapes and ecosystems and all of the world’s biomes can be found here, including tundra, desert, grassland, and coniferous and deciduous forest. Paved and dirt roads provide opportunities for hiking and scenic drives. There are also man-made attractions such as gardens, an aviary, and an aquarium at the nearby Sonora Desert Museum.
